	Created in the Pre-Flight Era, the '''Combine ''' is a modern version of an agricultural tool used to cultivate food stocks grown from farms. The equipment appears to be an open rectangular box that contains multiple spinning blades which are used to cut down desired crops to be processed. Harvested crops are then passed out from other end of the Combine through a relay of hoses or conveyor belts and into a storage bay.
